Fired

I woke up this morning late. I have recently started to wake up earlier and earlier. My wife has been telling me to try and go back to sleep but just as I've woken up, I am not thinking straight. Today thought, I woke up at 8.40am. That's really not bad for me. I was having some strange dreams though. Like proper weird.

I dreamt that in a moment of madness I stole something from a computer at work. Like an internal part. I was fired on the spot and it became some sort of media circus where I was being taken to court and all that kind of thing. Somehow I managed to keep it from my family until the day I went to court and stuff. Then I woke up. But I seem to remember being sentenced to go to jail for an amount of time that alludes me at the moment

My mind is a very strange thing. Like yesterday I was talking about my old days as a hospital radio presenter. It was a lot of fun but you wouldn't believe the politics and childish behaviour behind the scenes. Maybe one day I'll have to write a novel about it or whatever.

Unlocking Music With DRM Protection

May many moons ago I had an iPod. It was quite big and heavy but could withstand a lot of music being hurled at it. I used to buy music all the time for it. In fact, the reason I bought an iPod was to listen to my music that I had purchased from iTunes since that was the only way you could away from your computer.

Fast forward a little while, my iPod broke and I had a bunch of songs and albums that I could no longer listen to. I have to admit, some I bought again without the protection but most of them just lay dormant on an external hard drive. That is until yesterday when I found out that there is now software (how legal it is, I do not know) that can remove the DRM protection on my on music library. I'm looking forward to listening to my taste in music about a decade ago!

The software is called "Requiem" and what you have to do is just start it going and it snuffles out all the DRM protected music you have in your iTunes library and removes it for you. It's as simple as that. Bearing in mind, that if you have a lot of music, it will take a little while but it's worth it!

Chasing the sun

My my my

I woke up this morning feeling a bit MEH. I opened my curtains and saw that it was very MEH outside. And here was me starting to feel optimistic about the lovely summer that England has been waiting to enjoy properly for years.

Don't get me wrong here, I love this country but sometimes the weather does get a little tedious.

And on top of that, this blog keeps trying to log me out for whatever reason. Driving me mad.

Laziness Record Set

I live nearby the High Street. It's roughly a ten minute walk or a 2 minute bus journey. I had to go there yesterday to buy some milk and get money out from a cash machine. Somehow I managed to time it perfectly. I got the 12.44pm bus there, went to the shop and cash machine and managed to get the 12.57pm back. In total I was out of the house for less than 20 minutes. I know it was incredibly lazy for me to do it but it was a 6 pint bottle of milk and it was cold outside.

That is my record for laziness. I don't think I can beat it.

Best laid plans

I had such high hopes for the things that u wanted to achieve today but now I cannot be bothered. It's the weekend, it's been a long week, I just want some time to do very little and relax.

I do feel a bit bad about it but I'm sure I'll get over it.

Maybe I'll feel differently later.

Tomorrow

I have great expectations for tomorrow. I feel that tomorrow is the day that I will write the majority of a story that has been listed in my brain for a while. It's not my story, it's somebody else's idea that I want to work on. I think I've been mulling it over now for long enough, I'm just hoping that the planets are all aligned and it all goes well.

Greasy screen

I'm making more of an effort to post blogs from my phone since the day I just forgot to post.

I can remember when I got my first smart phone, I thought that it would revolutionise the way I blogged. I imagined myself blogging wherever I went with its touchscreen but alas I was wrong. The next phone I got had an actual qwerty keyboard but again, this failed. The phone I've got now is the only thing that has come close to me blogging without getting annoyed at the broken promises of technology.

Having said all of that, my screen is very quite dirty from my fingerprints.

They've sorted the screen but the app that I blog with still doesn't work great, failing to upload this post right away. *sigh*

Surreal

Some days are just so surreal. Today was one of those days. I had to do my best to help a man who could barely speak english, and when he did speak, it was quiet and mumbly. Still, I did my best and he did look vaguely familiar. I think I helped him.

I was at work at he came over to me to show me a shirt and told me what size it was. I didn't know quite what to say, I told him that he could try it on but he didn't. It was just weird.

It transpirses that Rod Stewart had an addiction to steroids and that it's a legal grey area if you film your neighbour from a drone helicopter...

Routine change not good

A day or so ago I mentioned that I was going to start blogging in the evening rather than on the morning. Well, that failed as I forgot to blog at all yesterday. My routine has been doing it in the morning for so long now that if I don't do it before I go to work, I assume I've already done it.

Still, I've installed the mobile app so I can do it whenever I like now.
